Jorge Luis

Jorge is the proprietor of a clothing store where he has a variety of products such as t-shirts, children's outfits, pants, and underwear. His demand has grown and his customers ask him for leather shoes made in Masaya, an important commercial city in Nicaragua.

He needs a loan to buy an order of blouses, shirts, children's outfits, and shoes with which he projects he'll satisfy the needs of his customers.

After he finished secondary school, he set up his business with economic support from his mother, who also is a merchant of new clothing.

He's single and has a high potential for developing as a micro-entrepreneur of new clothing.

About CEPRODEL

This loan is administered by Centro de Promocion del Desarrollo Local (CEPRODEL), one of Kiva’s larger partners in Central America. Founded in 1991 and based in Managua, Nicaragua, CEPRODEL specializes in the development and funding of housing cooperatives for traditionally marginalized communities, the provision of microfinance services to small businesses, and the promotion of innovative renewable energy projects. In addition, unlike many microfinance institutions in the area that have chosen to avoid the rural areas of the country due to the increased financial risk, CEPRODEL provides financial services to numerous clients in the agriculture and livestock industry. Supporting a borrower through CEPRODEL means contributing to the promotion and sustainability of this important work in Nicaragua.
